Synopsis

Sunny Clifford, her twin Serena, and Brandon Ferguson are neighbors on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation. When Chief Cecelia Fire Thunder, their tribe's first female President defies a state abortion ban with a threat to build a clinic on their sovereign territory, the former friends take sides.“A uniquely sensitive portrait of bright young people at a galvanizing stage of their lives whose cultural pride is informed by a continually uneasy relationship with mainstream American politics."
